Testing plan

[Bill Haneman]

Thanks Henrik:

I would like to remind members of this list to read the accessibility 
testing documents, including a sanity test suite, which are posted 
online at the Gnome Accessibility Project pages.

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/testing/

and

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/sanity-testing/

Thanks and best regards,

Bill
